MassMutual Launches Enhanced TPA Kit

The enhanced kit was designed to help TPAs streamline the
plan installation process and increase ease of use by simplifying and
grouping related questions and incorporating funding and Web site
applications. MassMutual says these new applications
reduced an average of four signature requirements.

The kit also includes all necessary documents to complete
the plan installation process, helping plans as they transition to
MassMutual Retirement Services. John LaRoche, director of TPA and new
business operations, added that since its initial launch in 2008, the
kit has undergone an annual review that aims to incorporate industry
best practices and efficiencies as well as feedback from TPAs, advisers
and sponsors.

“MassMutual Retirement Services is committed to providing
TPAs, advisers and sponsors with the best plan installation service in
the marketplace today,” said Gary Stamborski, vice president of TPA and
new business operations. “The new kit is just one way we are striving to
exceed the expectations of everyone involved throughout the plan
installation experience.”
